This morning one of the spotlights in our en-suite died.

To change the bulb I would normally pull the unit down from the ceiling where it is held by spring-loaded clips. I then unplug the old bulb, plug in the new bulb and refit the unit. Easy.

But the bulb that has gone is directly above the shower cubicle and it looks different to the rest - not the bulb but the unit. I tried earlier to pull the unit down but it didn't seem to budge although I didn't have long to give it a good pull.

My questions are, should the unit just pull down like the others and is the bulb a standard one?

Twist the front off, it should be a sealed downlighter (has a glass over the front)
Fit an aluminium reflector bulb like a Sylvania coolfit.
